paper-slides

To generate conference presentation slides from a LaTeX paper, this Skill extracts your paper outline and figures to build a Beamer deck following story-arc constraints, outputting an editable PPTX and speaker notes.

Creating speaker notes and a talk script for an oral presentation is handled by extracting slide flow from your compiled paper sources, producing a word-for-word script and anticipated Q&A scaffolding aligned to the presentation.

Yes, you need pdflatex, xelatex, and latexmk installed to convert a paper to a Beamer slide deck, because the Skill requires these LaTeX build prerequisites to compile the source files and extract slide content.

You can export your Beamer presentation to an editable PowerPoint PPTX file, as the Skill uses python-pptx to produce a fully editable version for final visual tweaks alongside the standard PDF output.

The tool supports different slide structures for spotlight or poster talks by applying venue color schemes and automatically budgeting slide counts based on your specified talk length and format constraints.

Conference slides may not generate correctly if LaTeX build prerequisites like latexmk or xelatex are missing, or if the paper sources lack the necessary sections and figures for proper slide outline extraction.
